God's Dwelling on High

Psalms 113:1-9

"God's Dwelling on High" shines the piercing light of truth upon the grandeur of our Lord and the frailty of man-made kingdoms. The Almighty's throne is high above every nation, every earthly power, every soar of human pride, and yet, He's near to the brokenhearted, the crushed and the poor. Psalm 113 doesn't mince words when it tells us that He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap. You may strut around with comfort in your earthly achievements, but if your heart ain't humbled before God's holiness, you're missing the point entirely. Repent of the arrogance that elevates worldly nationhood or personal accomplishment above the God who set stars in their courses and calls you for an eternal citizenship in His Kingdom. Now listen closely: praise isn’t optional. Let me say it again—if your lips are sealed when it comes to extolling God’s holy name, then it's your soul that’s in shackles. We gladly cheer when our team scores, but when was the last time your heart erupted for the One who saved your life from the pit? From the rising to the setting of the sun, His name is worthy of praise. It’s not a suggestion; it’s a command. Tear down the altars you’ve built to your own comfort and status, and raise a hallelujah to the God to whom nothing on this earth compares. Only through being baptized in Spirit and truth will you rise from sin’s deathbed to walk in newness of life. Praise ye the Lord, because He alone is worthy and His name will be exalted above every earthly name. Your spirit’s freedom hinges on it.
